good day,

• might as well get the mac address of your device and configure that n the router as a dedicated device. If not try to restore to earlier date.

You need to be able to see the wireless SSID, otherwise you are out of range.

You cannot wirelessly reboot it. You have to physically turn off the power to reboot it.

The Pin number is usually written on the label at the back of the router.

No such command in the router. See Manual http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WN3000RP/WN3000RP_IG_13APR2012.pdf

The password is wrong for the connection you are choosing. Don't try and log into the router, just the extender, they should not overlap in wireless ranges, other wise this can cause problems.

This message means your extender is too far away from your wireless router to make a good connection. Repeaters must be within a good signal range for the connection to work properly. If you have a wifi enabled phone, tablet, or laptop, you can walk around your home and see where the signal reaches and how well. Repeaters should be placed where you still receive full or close to full signal. Repeaters may have issues if the wireless router is on another floor, behind metal, or too far away.
